Patients\u2019 dieting histories were further explored with an aided recall during a preoperative behavioral\/psychological evaluation performed by a mental health professional.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> Participants who completed the Weight and Lifestyle Inventory reported an average of 4.7 \u00b1 2.9 successful dieting attempts, defined as those that resulted in a loss of 10 lbs (4.5 kg) or more. These individuals reported a mean total lifetime weight loss of 61.1 \u00b1 41.3 kg. Despite these efforts, their weight increased from 89.4 \u00b1 27.4 kg at the time of their first diet (age 21.2 \u00b1 10.1 years) to 144.5 \u00b1 30.8 kg at the time they underwent their behavioral\/psychological evaluation (age 43.0 \u00b1 11.0 years). Results of the aided recall revealed that participants had made numerous other efforts to lose weight that were unsuccessful. Self\u2010directed diets and commercial programs were used more frequently.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic>Discussion:<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> Individuals who sought bariatric surgery reported an extensive history of dieting, beginning in adolescence, that was not successful in halting progressive weight gain. Thus, the recommendation often made by insurance companies that patients delay surgery to attempt more conservative treatment options may be unwarranted, particularly in the presence of significant obesity\u2010related comorbidities. Weight loss histories should be routinely examined during a behavioral evaluation to determine whether additional attempts at non\u2010surgical weight loss are advisable. Future studies also are needed to explore the potential relationship between dieting history and postoperative outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2006.285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,23]],"date-time":"2008-04-23T15:30:51Z","timestamp":1208964651000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Previous Weight Loss Experiences of Bariatric Surgery Candidates: How Much Have Patients Dieted prior to Surgery?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lauren M.","family":"Gibbons","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David B.","family":"Sarwer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Canice E.","family":"Crerand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony N.","family":"Fabricatore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert H.","family":"Kuehnel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patti E.","family":"Lipschutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven E.","family":"Raper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noel N.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas A.","family":"Wadden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"855","volume-title":"Handbook of Obesity","author":"Wing RR","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2004.282"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-119-7_Part_2-199310011-00012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"545S","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/55.2.545s","article-title":"Behavioral treatment of severe obesity","volume":"55","author":"Wing RR","year":"1992","journal-title":"Am J Clin Nutr"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.281.3.235"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)03491-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"167","article-title":"Treatment of obesity by very\u2010low\u2010calorie diet, behavior therapy and their combination: a five\u2010year perspective","volume":"51","author":"Wadden TA","year":"1989","journal-title":"Int J Obes"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp048029"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"615S","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/55.2.615s","article-title":"Gastrointestinal surgery for severe obesity: National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference Statement","volume":"55","journal-title":"Am J Clin Nutr"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2004.10.039"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1381\/0960892042386922"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6109(05)70181-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","unstructured":"Beck AT Steer RA.
